The Miami Heat defeated the Washington Wizards 140–117 on April 10 at Capital One Arena, blowing past the Vegas total of 243.5 with a dominant offensive performance. Simone Fontecchio and Patrik Larsson each scored 24 points for Miami, which shot 59.8 percent from the field and made 20 three-pointers while racking up 37 assists on 40 rebounds. The Heat's balanced attack overwhelmed Washington, whose top scorers B. Carrington (30 points) and B. Coulibaly (25 points) couldn't compensate for the team's defensive collapse; Miami's offensive rating of 136.7 contrasted sharply with Washington's defensive rating of 136.7. The Wizards shot just 50 percent overall and made only 14 threes despite 26 assists, and Miami's superior ball movement—evidenced by the 37-assist output—proved decisive across all four quarters, with the Heat scoring at least 33 points in each period. Washington's 13 turnovers and 111.3 offensive rating underscored their inability to keep pace. Miami's road efficiency positions them favorably in the playoff picture.
